    This man speaks the truth. Just put myself through private pilot license for fixed wing in the northeast and I completed in minimum time for ~$18k all in.

    I have a PPL. Expecting a friendly response, I casually told a friend, an ex-Chinook pilot, that I was contemplating doing a helicopter license. His smile INSTANTLY vanished and he tersely told me point blank, “you can’t afford it.”

    Makes me feel much better about not owning a helicopter. Sounds like parts and maintenance are a racket. There's a lot of slush built into that system somehow. With todays manufacturing technology it should be possible to build a complete tail section for 65K, even if half the parts are built out of unobtanium. I smell lawyers and red tape. Nice to be a little guy, sometimes.

      Normally, when I think of “consumables” i think of inkjet cartridges. You hold your nose and pay $60 for a new one. But when rotor blades and gearboxes are viewed as having a mandatory shelf life they become consumables too. And now you’re talking REAL money.
